What Makes a Good Leader

Published on: 6th November, 2026

Leadership often involves inspiring people around you, but changing the way you use your voice takes a lot of determined, compassionate leadership of your self.

In this episode, I explain

  • A brilliant lesson in leadership from the world of professional baseball.
  • The difference between the self that wants to do things the way you always have, and the self who wants bigger, better, more for you.
  • Why loving and accepting yourself the way you are now is so crucial to opening up pathways to the you you want to be.

with Michèle Voillequé
Does singing feel so difficult, painful, or embarrassing that you hide it from the people you love? Does speaking feel scratchy, exhausting, breathless, or forced?

It doesn't have to be that way. Your voice can sound and feel amazing, even in stressful situations. You just need to know how to use it.

Singer and voice teacher Michèle Voillequé teaches the art and science of sounding and feeling the best you can. If you love the sound of your ideas, but hate the sound of your voice, be sure to subscribe to Can’t Wait to Hear You.
